Our year-end roundup coverage begins with Stephen Colbert – who tells us the whole, unvarnished story behind The Colbert Report’s ecstatic “Get Lucky” dance party. Sample:
I thought, “So wait, we’re flying them from Paris and they’re not gonna sing and they’re not gonna talk? What are we doin’?” And they said, “Do you want us to cancel?” “No, no, no – this is actually a really interesting challenge.”

#daft punk #stephen colbert #colbert #colbert report #the colbert report #get luckyLast night, Stephen Colbert let us in on a little secret: Everyone who works at Viacom — the company behind networks including Comedy Central and CBS — has to share a single bathroom, which is located on the set of The Colbert Report. (The arrangement’s particularly tough on Craig Ferguson, Stephen told us — “He has to fly in from L.A.”)
Nerdgasm alert: In honor of the Dec. 14 release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, The Colbert Report will present four nights of Hobbit-themed programming from Dec. 3 to Dec. 6.
Guests will include stars Ian McKellan (Dec. 3), Martin Freeman (Dec. 4) and Andy Serkis (Dec. 6), along with director Peter Jackson (Dec. 5).
Said Colbert in a statement: “Elen sila lumenn‘ omentielvo… I mean that sincerely.” Translation: “A star shines upon the hour of our meeting.”
Guess who’s coming to The Office?
That’s right: Stephen Colbert will guest this season. Too bad Steve Carell won’t be around for an Even Stevphen rematch.
(Oh, you want to know who Colbert is playing? Well…)
Oh, and just in case you weren’t sad enough, Stephen Colbert’s touching tribute to his late mother might get you there.
Last night, Stephen Colbert launched a full week of episodes dedicated to dissecting Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey — complete with a set elaborately decorated to look like The Shire, where Middle-earth’s most fuzzy-footed creatures make their home.
The fake pundit — and real Tolkien superfan — welcomed as his first guest Sir Ian McKellen, a celebrated actor who’s best known in geek circles for playing Magneto in the X-Men movies and Gandalf in Jackson’s Tolkien adaptations.
Press play to see a new Hobbit clip, talk of “Gandalf the Gay,” and McKellen’s assessment of who would win in a fight between Magneto and the White Wizard. In short: Can every week be Hobbit Week?
Yup, we took Stephen Colbert out in New York City dressed as your (and his) favorite The Hobbit characters.
It was amazing.

After accusing the Late Night host—and his new best friend!—of riding his coattails, Stephen Colbert declares pre-Emmy war on Jimmy Fallon. Whose side are you on?
We fully support Stephen Colbert’s inclusion on the Maxim Hot 100 list – especially after seeing this clip from last night’s show.
